Hi Saucy Sharon!! I too have been given the option of a ankle fusion or possible ankle replacement,due to post-traumatic arthritis of my left ankle.(class III pilon fracture) I have also asked my orthopedic surgeon about a cartilage replacement. He tells me that there is not any replacement available? At this point I'am walking around in a air cast to function while I way my options. I would certainly also like to know of any alternatives to replace cartilage!!
